A Must Read for Humanity

This book really needs to be read aloud to all children (and adults who feel the need to belittle others). It’s an absolutely beautiful story, heart wrenching and heartwarming at the same time. The author was interviewed on NPR and that’s what made me curious to read his book and I’m so very glad I did. Children and adults alike should find the story insightful and inspiring.
